Chapter 1211
Before Vicky could think, she felt a gun pressed against her head, followed by the sound of someone
chuckling.
âTyler, put your gun down.â
Vicky jolted and turned around, realizing that Lincoln had somehow appeared behind her and was
pointing a gun at her. There was the same gentle smile on his face, but the look in his eyes was sharp
like she had never seen before.
Vicky was baffled as she wondered if Lincoln was acting.
Tylerâs eyes narrowed, and his expression = darkened. âSo youâre finally sick of keeping up the act,
huh, Lincoln?â
âThatâs right. Wearing a mask for too long can be exhausting. â Lincoln smiled faintly. âBut youâve been
wearing a mask all this time to deceive Vicky as well. Donât you feel tired of that?â
Tylerâs gaze darkened as he remained silent.
Lincoln pretended to be surprised. âIâve decided to reveal everything. Are youâ¦planning to keep hiding
the truth? Do you still refuse to own up to the truth, even when I took credit for your work as the
mysterious man?â
Vicky trembled and instinctively gaped at Tyler.
Tyler did not look at her and kept his gaze fixed on Lincoln, glowering as he did.
Lincoln tapped the trigger with his finger gently with a smile on his face. âTyler, didnât I ask you to put
down the gun?
Didnât you hear me?â
After a few seconds of silence, Tyler threw the gun he held onto the floor.
Lincoln signaled his subordinates to take Tylerâs gun and instructed, âYou can all leave.â
His subordinates complied and left. With a soft laugh, Lincoln continued, âNow that everyone else is
gone, we can have a heart-to-heart conversation.â
He lowered his head to look at Vicky and asked, âVicky, donât you want to say something?â
âWhat did you mean by what you said just now?â Although Vicky was talking to Lincoln, her eyes never
left Tyler, not wanting to miss any change in his expression.
âVicky, youâre a smart woman, so you should be able to guess what I mean.â Time was running out,
and Lincoln did not waste any time beating around the bush. âIâm sorry, but I lied to you. I wasnât the
guy whoâs been helping you.â
âIf thatâs the case, why didnât you deny it and even admit it when I asked?â
âBefore coming to Stoneford City, I conducted a detailed investigation on you. I knew all about your
relationships, including friends and your ex-fiance, but the one person I didnât know anything aboutâ¦
was the mysterious person you mentioned.â Lincoln casually played with the gun in his
hand. âI was surprised the first time you mentioned the mysterious person. A person simply cannot
exist without leaving some sort of trace behind, but the person you described left no trace. No matter
how much I looked into it, I couldnât find a single clue.â
Lincoln shot Tyler a knowing glance.
It was intriguing that even Old Mister Hart could not find anything about what Tyler had been silently
doing when he brought Tyler back to the Hart family, which indicated just how meticulous Tyler was.
Despite acting as the mysterious person, Lincoln had no idea who the person Vicky was referring to
could be, and he never expected it to be Tyler.
Noticing that Lincoln was looking into him, Tyler refrained from contacting Vicky for a long time as the
mysterious man, allowing Lincoln to keep up his act.
Shortly after, the real mysterious person contacted Vicky again, saying they would take her away, and
this happened right after Vicky misunderstood Tyler for ruining her face.
